This sounds like now you can get fitted for your ball as well as your clubs. From the demo day that rick did??? Was it good rick?

Any place with a launch monitor can do it. Large golf outlets as well as some courses have them.

Check with courses in your area and see if any are holding a ball clinic. That's how I got this info today. Bridgestone was having a clinic at my home course. They had a good launch monitor, and analyzed and compared different balls. For me the Nike was too soft, too high spinning. Even the Bridgestone E5 was too much... I needed the lower spinning E6+. I'm sure that there are other balls with similar characteristics, but they obviously want to sell their ball.

BTW, one thing I learned... the Nike Power Distance Soft is made by Bridgestone as is the Precept Laddie... they are both identical balls with just different labels printed on them.

I would really like to try a track man out. Those seem awesome, then I would know the distances I hit my irons, wedges, and driver.

Dats da troof!

I wasn't around back in the day you could buy them new, but there is one lurking around the backyard and that thing is unbeleivable.

Pro V1 is my favorite for raw spin. Not the V1x though. They are different, people.

Nike One Platinums are right up there as well.

I missed the Bridgestone van a few months ago when it was here. I wish I could find out whether the ball I usually use is good for me.

I remember growing up, (but less and less every day!), when a 100 compression ball was for professionals and good players, a 90 compression ball was for the majority of us and anything softer like a 80 compression ball, (green Maxfli, red Titleist, etc), were supposed to be for women or seniors.

Now, there seems to be a 90 degree turn, not so much a reversal, but I honestly don't understand it all. I bought 100 Titleist NXT's some time ago and have gone through about 1/2 of them. Occasionally, I will try something else and I have never come home thinking that I hit one thing farther than anything else.

With a swing speed of 100 mph, (according to my Swingstik), I don't know whether the NXT is better or worse for me.
